PTILOTUS exaltatus ‘Joey’
PTILOTUS exaltatus ‘Joey’
Large, glistening silver with dark neon pink feathery flower spikes atop attractive, thick, silver-green foliage. Enthusiastic reviews for this new introduction from Benary.
Even the foliage is charming on this compact little plant, grayish-green and standing straight up like spoons.
It is leathery and tough, so it keeps its good looks even when water is scarce and hot sunshine plentiful.
A Whole New Flower Family that Loves Hot, Dry Soil!
Great for water-saving gardens, cutflower arrangements, and containers
New to U.S. gardens, this Australian native is nothing short of an answer to our prayers for a lovely, long-lasting annual that stands up to today’s hotter, drier summers!
Grows to a height of 12-15 inches
Plant in full sun and Hardy in Zones 9-10, grow as a annual in other zone areas.
Can’t wait to get this plant and see it grow..
Happy Gardening
Diane Mumm
